Dave King Memorial Blogpost from Nina Paley


Dave was hella funny and brilliantly creative and kinda nuts, with a good heart that just stopped January 11, 2024. We both had comic strips in the Daily Illini in the late 1980’s; his, “Bob ‘n’ Dave,” was clever, hilarious, gonzo, and unpretentiously deep. Much later, as the Duke of Uke, he made “Spider Suite” which I used in my film Seder-Masochism. His was the absolutely perfect voice of Death, and if there is an afterlife I hope he’s simultaneously entertaining and scaring the pants off any souls he meets.

There’s a hotel in Champaign called the I-Hotel, which I call the I-Hole because of its logo:

The “I” in the “H” reminds me of this:

Of course, the I-Hole is located across the street from the A-Hall:

I entertain myself how I can in this town.
